Justice Ministry to amend economic court legislation to facilitate dispute resolution proceedings

The Justice Ministry wants to make it easier to resolve business disputes and will enshrine its thinking in amendments to legislation governing economic courts, sources tell Al Borsa. The ministry will be calling in experts and judges from the Cairo Economic Court to help draft the amendments, which have become necessary in light of the government’s economic reform measures, the source adds, without commenting on the nature of the changes. The Ismail Cabinet had okayed amendments last week that would allow economic courts to handle consumer protection-related cases.
